The new system offers IMAP, POP3, and Webmail services. The old email content may not be migrated over yet. The service is a free service. We are currently working out technical anomalies with our old server.

Volunteer Opportunities
CCNA is volunteer
led, not grant fed .....
We always need your time and energy and expertise, whether for a short time or longer. Give our office a call at 263-8080 or send an email to office@calcna.ab.ca. Consider joining one (or more) of these CCNA committees that could use your help:
Fund Raising Committee
Do you have money raising experience? Or are you just good at getting other people to give you money? We would like to talk to you!
Information Providers Committee
Would you like to help a non-profit organization develop an internet presence? Reach out and help a charity, give us a call.
Volunteer Coordinating Committee
Do you have great organizational skills? Can you delegate with flare? Are you proficient at patting volunteers on the back? The CCNA needs you.
HTML Committee
Do you enjoy making web pages? Would you like to create pages for non-profit organizations or develop a Special Interest Group page? Visit the HTML Committee's web page and see what has been done and what there may be for you to do.
Help Desk Committee
Can you explain over the phone or by email the ins and outs of setting up a graphical browser? Can you help the PINE confused emailer? Are you technically inclined and like to give assistance? There may be a spot for you on the HelpDesk Committee.
Technical Committee
Do you have a knack at getting routers and modems to work when they would rather zone out? Are you experienced with UNIX servers? Can you set up a pc faster than a cowboy can rope a calf? (Just kidding.) Ask about opportunities on the Tech Committee.
Education (Courses) Committee
Are you really comfortable using the CCNA LYNX browser and PINE? Do you make great home pages? Do search engines do your bidding and give you what you're looking for most of the time? Would you like to share your expertise with others? Inquire about teaching a course for beginners.
Newsletter Committee
Are you a strong need-to-know type person? Is there a journalist inside you screaming to get out? Look into the Newsletter Committee.
Public Access Terminal (PATs) Committee
Do you like to meet new people? Would setting people up with their own CCNA account give you warm fuzzies? Do you like helping people one-on-one and in-person? Talk to us about joining the PAT team.
Needless to say, you may have expertise that we have not identified ... don't be bashful about raising your hand!
Please visit the Bill
Hanson Tribute Site. Bill was a long time volunteer.

We Need Your Donation

our dedicated volunteers, the support of our sponsors, and the contributions
made by the Members. Our mission is to provide the Calgary community with
public access to information networks, and to educate the public in the use and
value of information technology.
Please donate generously to keep CCNA viable.
THANK YOU…

Special thanks to
our dedicated Volunteers without whose support and assistance
many users would have been deprived of the modern communication and information
facilities.
CCNA appreciates
the active involvement of former Office Manager and Executive Director Shirley

association since its start. She has continued her devotion to CCNA as
a volunteer by giving free training courses to senior citizens.
CCNA also appreciates the active involvement of its Board of

We Ask For Your Help and Support/Charitable
Status
Our aim has been to provide universal access to advanced information services and computer networks, and to strengthen the relationship between the community at large and its citizens. We feel we have succeeded to the best of our ability and resources, in fact, beyond our original expectations in many cases. For example, our Barrier Free Program has helped many disadvantaged individuals and families with free computer equipment and dial-up internet services. We were also participants in the Federal Government's Computer Access Program (CAP).
This has been made possible by the generous donations of our sponsors, through your membership fees, and the many hours of service provided for free by our corps of dedicated volunteers. However, we do need additional continuing funding if we are to keep on providing you with these services.
We need your support in terms of donations because we are NOT a government funded organization. We do everything we can to hold costs to a minimum, in the face of escalating expectations and some very real hard costs (e.g., phone lines).
Therefore, we are asking you to consider making a donation as you are able for this worthy cause. Money offers us the greatest flexibility, but we also welcome goods and services if that works better for you.
The Calgary Community Network Association is a Registered Charitable Organization. All donations of cash $10.00 and greater will receive Tax Receipts. All goods donated are evaluated as to value and appropriate Tax Receipts are issued.
Note: Membership fees and dial-up access charges are not considered donations and Tax Receipts can not be issued for these.
Please contribute generously so that we can continue to provide a high level of service to you and make the Calgary Community Network a true community network in the information age. Inquiries and donations may be sent to the Calgary Community Network Association Office.

4.
CCNA
will provide services on its host computing systems to individual Users in
exchange for compliance with the terms and conditions of this document. CCNA
services are defined as the use by the User of computing, telecommunications,
software, and information services provided by CCNA. These services also
include the provision of access to computing, telecommunications, software and
information services provided by others via the world-wide computer network
known as the Internet. Access to the Internet is sometimes temporarily
disrupted by mechanical breakdown, technological changes, weather conditions
and other forces beyond CCNA's control. User agrees that such temporary disruptions
are not a breach of this agreement.
5.
When
User has access to CCNA services such a e-mail, User agrees to maintain a
secure password to the account. It is recommended that the User change the
password on a regular basis to protect him/herself from the most common breach
of Internet security.

other systems. The User agrees not to use CCNA services to make unauthorized
attempts to access the systems and networks of others.

agreements.

lists and networks to which the User is posting, including rules more
restrictive than, but not limited to, the above. The user agrees to abide by
CCNA's interpretation of the above. If the User needs help interpreting or applying
these rules, the User should ask CCNA by e-mail to Manager for assistance.
10. Any use of CCNA system resources
that disrupts the normal use of the system for other CCNA users is considered
to be abuse of system resources and is grounds for administrative intervention.
Some examples of system abuse include spawning dozens of processes, consuming
excessive amounts of memory or CPU for long periods of time, and staying
attached to modems while not "active" on the line.
11. Violations of the CCNA conditions
for use are unethical and may in some cases be criminal offences. You are
expected to report to CCNA any information you may have concerning instances in
which the conditions of use have been or are being violated. When CCNA becomes
aware of possible violations, we will attempt to ask appropriate users about
the matter. At the same time, in order to prevent further possible unauthorized
activity, CCNA may suspend access to services to the individual account in
question. Confirmation of violations may result in cancellation of the
individual account and/or criminal prosecution. The account suspension may be
rescinded at the discretion of CCNA.

Users' actions when this is necessary to determine whether or not the User is
violating the conditions of use.
